A Generalized ``Surfaceless Stokes' Theorem

Publication date: 30 November 1993

Abstract: We derive a generalized Stokes' theorem, valid in any dimension and for arbitrary loops, even if self intersecting or knotted. The generalized theorem does not involve an auxiliary surface, but inherits a higher rank gauge symmetry from the invariance under deformations of the surface used in the conventional formulation.
